What is nailed to the position is called a "nail", and Zhao Kuo invented the "broken tooth" strategy based on it.
Just when the Qin army concentrated its forces to attack the "broken tooth" of the Zhao army, the nearby broken teeth of the Zhao army turned into sharp teeth and attacked crazily around the Qin army, trying to bite the Qin army's huge body. Put down some flesh and blood.
Although the Qin army was extremely careful, they still could not stop the already elusive Zhao army.
The back road that has been clearly cleared will suddenly appear with dozens of Zhao Jun's lone troops; I thought I was about to break the position, but I saw the Zhao Jun in the position suddenly rushed out from the front like crazy; even underground, even On the tree...
In short, you never know where, how and how those crazy Zhao soldiers will suddenly appear in such incredible places - maybe this is the so-called guerrilla warfare.
In fact, it’s not that Zhao Jun is too good, it’s just that Zhao Kuo’s way is too wild, and now Zhao Jun is starting to imitate it - the general can completely break up an army of hundreds of thousands, why can’t we break up these few hundred people? , two were ambushed in this tree, and a few were hidden in that hole. They only waited for the Qin army to pass by, and then they attacked the Qin army's retreat.
Zhao Jun's cold-blooded guerrilla tactics naturally made the Qin Army very difficult to guard against. Although the Qin Army numbered hundreds of thousands, this petty sneak attack could not hurt the Qin Army's bones at all, but it has to be said that this was not possible. It really disgusted the Qin army and further delayed the Qin army's offensive rhythm.
However, such delay was indeed purchased by every guerrilla Zhao Jun with his life.
Zhao Kuo only had time to teach his men how to divide their troops to attack, how to disgust the Qin army, and how to kill the most Qin army, but he forgot to teach them how to protect themselves and how to escape intact after killing.
Of course, perhaps, this is not the time to teach them these skills.
Therefore, even though the combat power of the two armies is extremely different, and although the Zhao army's defensive strength is far less than that of the Qin army's attacking corps, every time the Qin army pulls out a node, it has to pay almost the same battle damage as the Zhao army.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the attacking legions, Bai Qi not only rotates the attacking legions, but also promptly replenishes the troops after each legion loses a thousand soldiers. Of course, in this way, the troops besieging Zhao Jun on the front line will naturally have full attack power, but Bai Qi has fewer and fewer reserves in his hands.
Just like that, pull out a tooth, replenish some troops, and then pull out another one...
Under the ruthless sweep of the Qin Army's attacking legions from four directions, the Zhao Army's position became smaller and smaller, and there were fewer and fewer "broken teeth" on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin Army were also "tortured" by the Zhao Army. Military morale, morale and combat effectiveness gradually dropped to freezing point.
If the 15,000 elite troops of Yingxu were mobilized by the Zhao army the day before yesterday and were slaughtered in the valley, which had shown the Qin army the strength of the Zhao army, then today, the series of actions of the Zhao army are showing the Qin army. The Qin army tells of its tenacity - If you want to destroy our Zhao country, have you grown your teeth?
Naturally, although most of Qin's soldiers were illiterate, everyone had a stronghold in their hearts. The image of Zhao Jun as someone not to be messed with has been firmly established in the hearts of Qin's soldiers. Of course, what Zhao Kuo wants is far more than that. As for the next step, he still has to wait until this damn Shangdang war is over.
The battle of "pulling out broken teeth" was happening all over the place, and good or bad news was constantly being passed on to the main camps of both sides.
Bai Qi sat in the big tent with an expressionless face. The messengers in front of him took turns one after another, reporting the news on the southern battlefield.
"Report: Attack the army from the north, break the Zhao army's position, kill 300 Zhao army, and lose 270 soldiers."
"Report: Attack the army from the west, and then break the Zhao army's position. One hundred Zhao soldiers will be killed and one hundred and twenty soldiers will be lost."
…
Bai Qi has no interest in these data. No matter how many formations are killed, no matter how many soldiers are lost, they are just a bunch of indifferent numbers on the case file, and they are just a simple achievement in the battle report.
He just wants to know how many of these abominable nails Zhao Jun still has, and how long he and his soldiers will have to endure "torture"!
Finally, as Bai Qi personally mobilized and deployed troops and horses, and added reinforcements to the attacking legion from time to time, the process of "pulling out broken teeth" gradually
It got faster, and as the Qin army gradually adapted to Zhao Jun's style of play, the battle loss ratio between Zhao and Qin also suddenly increased, and more and more Zhao troops were massacred by more Qin troops. The battle damage ratio finally stabilized between 1:1.5 and 1:2.
Facing the increasingly good situation, Wu Anjun Bai Qi gradually felt relieved. He believed that as long as this continued, within three to five days, Zhao's army would gradually lose its combat effectiveness, either due to lack of food or despair of being without help, and this depletion of strength would eventually lead to "torture." It evolved into the encirclement and annihilation battle that I originally wanted!
This is the law, the law of the battlefield, an iron law that does not depend on the will of Zhao Kuo or anyone else.
The fact is that as Bai Qi thought, Zhao Jun will soon be unable to afford it. Just at dusk, another captain among the Zhao army was killed. This was the first time that the Zhao army lost a senior general at the captain level after Karacang Ling.
The reason was simple. The captain's army was almost completely wiped out, and the dozen or so soldiers left were all injured. Maybe he could break out with the help of his soldiers, but he chose to give up.
As for the reason for giving up, it may be the disappointment of the war, or the guilt for the soldiers who died in the battle, or it may simply be the delay in the bloody battlefield.
No one knows, but one thing is for sure. Until the last moment of his life, Captain was still fighting hard! Even if he is seriously injured!
He tore the military flag embroidered with his surname into rags, then used the rags to tie up his fractured left hand, straightened his helmet, led the remaining soldiers, charged for the last time, and waved the long sword for the last time.
"Kill Qin Dog!"
The spear pierced his chest, leaving a trail of bright red blood, as bright red as the military flag with the word "Zhao" under the setting sun.
Or, instead of choosing to give up, he chose to sleep in this hot land together with his dear brothers.
It's a pity that as long as he persists for one more night, he can wait for the reinforcements brought by General Lian Po and return to his hometown to reunite with his family...
It is difficult for the captain to survive, and the hardship of the soldiers below is even more obvious.
But Zhao Kuo was not panicked at all. He knew that his goal had been achieved.
Although the broken teeth on the front line are being pulled out very quickly, and almost one position can only last for a quarter of an hour or two, there are so many of them! According to the current progress of the Qin army, it is impossible to break the "Broken Tooth Formation" deployed by Zhao Kuo on the outside within three to five days.
Of course, five days is already the limit of the limit!
